Baño, corte y atuendo, los dueños de mascotas en Nicaragua vistieron de gala a sus compañeros peludos para llevarlos a pedir protección ante San Lázaro: protector de animales y enfermos. <br />With the celebrations, Nicaraguans remember the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, a poor man covered in sores who longed to eat scraps from the rich man's table, as dogs licked his wounds.<br /><br />However, when the two men died, it was Lazarus who went to heaven, while the rich man went to hell for clinging to material things during his life.<br /><br />Locals have been putting their faith in the healing powers of Saint Lazarus since the 19th century, when a deadly cholera epidemic struck Nicaragua.<br /><br /> VERSIÓN SUBTITULADA
